Here are the club events that are scheduled for autumn 2026. We look forward to seeing you at our meetings.
All events (except summer outing and theatre performance) will be at the English library in Mecumstraße 10 (first floor) and start at 16:30 (AGM at 16:15).
We cannot accept card payments – cash only.
Do you have one in your street? Has it been there too long?
This is a railway and local history museum where we will have a 60- to 90-minute English tour starting at 12:00 noon.
Refreshments are available at the museum afterwards.
… and conversation with Claire Bunse.
Please watch this space for updates.
“Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,
The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.”
With many diversions and U-turns we will discover, with Peter Lancashire, the roads of England, including the Magic Roundabout, the Devil's Highway, lollipop ladies, cul-de-sacs, pelicans and many more.
The author known today as Elizabeth von Arnim also held the titles Gräfin von Arnim-Schlagenthin and Countess Russel at various times in her fascinating lifetime. Bob Muscutt has been a fan of hers since 2006, when he discovered her novels thanks to a summer holiday on Rügen. His talk intends to provide entertaining impressions selected from her life and her fiction.
– all welcome, voting by members only,
followed, at around 16:45, by a showing of the 1953 comedy film “The Titfield Thunderbolt” (84 minutes), to remind us of our summer visit to a railway museum.
